In other words, our sensory activity is such that we have in it everything that has gradually emerged from the dull intuition of ancient Saturn. But if we were to carry within us, through our eyes and ears, only that which comes from the dull intuition of ancient Saturn, we would be very dry beings. We would perceive the outer world as if through senses that worked automatically. We would think soberly and dryly about this outer world, and we would remember what we have experienced without warmth. That we experience what we have experienced as our own affair, that we do not merely look into our experiences with indifference and remember them, looking at our personal life like the individual stones of a kaleidoscope, is what makes our remembered thoughts, our intelligent being, our sensory perceptions, our feelings, desires and wills arise. When we look at things externally, we like them. We like them through our desire, through our feeling or through our will. When we think, we do not just think soberly and dryly, but we bring a certain enthusiasm into our ideas. We would not bring this into it if we only had what the sun has given us as intellectual power; we have this in our thinking because the earth has endowed us with will, desire and feeling, even if these are now embryonic. The same applies to the ability to remember. Those abilities that are called the lower abilities, because they are more closely connected with the body, always play a part in our higher soul abilities. Let us hold on to that for the time being. The lower soul faculties of will, desire and feeling shine through and glow in our higher soul faculties, which would place us in the world like dried-out intestines if they were only what they have become through Saturn, Sun and Moon, and we become warm, feeling human beings, even when we think. There are, however, a great many people today who strive for objectivity by throwing feeling and desire out of their intelligence; but this is either merely an illusion, if people believe that they can throw out the lower soul faculties from the activity of the senses, the intelligence and memory, or if they really throw them out – to a certain extent one can only do that – but then one becomes one's own lower self! It is only possible to a certain extent to expel the lower soul faculties from the higher ones. One can expel them, for example, by stepping onto the lectern and expounding to the foxes and other, later students all kinds of sciences. One can expel the lower, actually earthly soul faculties from the intellect. But one cannot expel them completely. If, after spending the day in philosophy, you do not enjoy your midday meal, then your intelligence is permeated by real desires and feelings, and you grumble about what your housewife has prepared, and in particular, your sense activity of taste, smell and so on. Thus, sometimes, the dry philistine exists in man, who has thrown out the lower soul faculties from his upper soul faculties, and the person who is quite capable of enthusiasm when something is over-peppered or over-salted or even burnt or otherwise not properly cooked in some way!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fourteenth Lecture","site_heading":"The Soul's Six Faculties and Future Evolution","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Mit andern Worten, unsere Sinnestätigkeit ist eine solche, daß wir in ihr haben alles dasjenige, was aus der dumpfen Intuition des alten Saturn nach und nach geworden ist. Aber würden wir in uns durch unsere Augen, durch unsere Ohren, nur dasjenige tragen, was aus der dumpfen Intuition des alten Saturn kommt, so wären wir recht trockene Wesen. Wir nähmen, wie durch automatisch wirkende Sinne, die äußere Welt wahr. Wir dächten nüchtern und trocken über diese äußere Welt, und wir erinnerten uns ohne Wärme an dasjenige, was wir erlebt haben. Daß wir dasjenige, was wir erlebt haben, als unsere eigene Angelegenheit erleben, daß wir gewissermaßen nicht bloß in unsere Erlebnisse hineinblicken mit Gleichgültigkeit und uns an sie erinnern, unser persönliches Leben wie die einzelnen Steine eines Kaleidoskops anschauend, das macht, daß in unsere erinnerten Gedanken, in unser intelligentes Wesen, in unsere Sinneswahrnehmungen, unser Fühlen, Begehren und Wollen aufsteigen. Indem wir die Dinge äußerlich anschauen, gefallen sie uns. Sie gefallen uns durch unser Begehren, durch unser Fühlen oder durch unser Wollen. Indem wir denken, denken wir nicht bloß nüchtern und trocken, sondern wir bringen einen gewissen Enthusiasmus in unsere Ideen hinein. Den würden wir nicht hineinbringen, wenn wir nur dasjenige hätten, was uns die Sonne als Intelligenzkraft gegeben hat, den haben wir in unserem Denken dadurch drinnen, daß uns die Erde ausgestattet hat mit Wollen, Begehren und Fühlen, wenn diese auch jetzt embryonal sind. Ebenso auch bei der Erinnerungsfähigkeit. In unsere oberen Seelenfähigkeiten spielen immer diejenigen hinein, die man einem alten Gebrauche gemäß die unteren Fähigkeiten nennt, weil sie mehr an den Leib gebunden sind. Das wollen wir zunächst festhalten. In unsere oberen Seelenfähigkeiten, die uns wie ausgetrocknete Därme in die Welt hineinstellen würden, wenn sie bloß dasjenige wären, was sie durch Saturn, Sonne und Mond geworden sind, leuchten und glühen die unteren Seelenfähigkeiten, das Wollen, Begehren und Fühlen hinein, und wir werden warme, fühlende Menschen, auch wenn wir denken. Es gibt allerdings heute eine ganze Menge von Menschen, die Objektivität dadurch anstreben, daß sie aus ihrer Intelligenz das Fühlen, das Begehren herauswerfen; aber das ist entweder bloß eine Illusion, wenn die Leute glauben, daß sie aus der Sinnestätigkeit, der Intelligenz und der Erinnerung die niederen Seelenfähigkeiten herauswerfen können, oder wenn man sie wirklich herauswirft - zu einem gewissen Teile kann man das ja nur —, dann wird man aber auch danach! Es gelingt nämlich immer nur bis zu einem gewissen Grade, die unteren Seelenfähigkeiten aus den oberen herauszuwerfen. Man kann sie zum Beispiel herauswerfen, wenn man auf das Katheder tritt und den Füchsen und andern, späteren Studenten allerlei Wissenschaften auseinandersetzt. Da kann man aus der Intelligenz herauswerfen die niederen, die eigentlich irdischen Seelenfähigkeiten. Aber man kann sie nicht ganz herauswerfen. Kommt man dann von seinen Philosophien nach Hause und schmeckt einem das Mittagsmahl nicht, dann durchziehen reale Begierden und Gefühle, indem man über dasjenige, was die Hausfrau bereitet hat, schimpft, die Intelligenz, und namentlich auch die Sinnestätigkeit des Geschmacks, des Geruchs und so weiter. So besteht manchmal ganz durcheinander in dem Menschen der trockene Philister, der aus seinen oberen Seelenfähigkeiten die niederen herausgeworfen hat, und der recht sehr des Enthusiasmus fähige Mensch, wenn ihm irgend etwas verpfeffert oder versalzen oder gar angebrannt oder sonst in irgendeiner Weise nicht richtig gekocht ist!","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":576,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/196/1920-02-14/p015"}],"english":["GA 196/1920-02-14/p015"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":576,"en_words":592,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.04,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5464,"original_word_count":5254,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Spiritual and Social Changes in the Development of Humanity","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA196/English/SOL2024/19200214p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
